Col. G. A. LoUNsBERRY, the found
err Of the Bismarck Tribune, but now
one Of the editors and publishers of
the Duluth Eucniag Journal, says the
following on the division Of Dakota,
in his journal Of the 2lst inst:
The North Dakota division CAM
paign opens on Monday next. The
people Of Dakota want the territory
divided and will not accept state
hood without division. The terri
tory is too large and its interests too
varied to be admitted as one state.
II is larger than ali the New Eng
land states; larger than New York,
Ohio and Indiana, and the only
cause for opposition to division is
the democratic reason that its divis-
ion will give the republicans two
more United States senators, or the
New England reason that it will IN
crease the power Of the west in the
United States senate. All OF the
public institutions in Dakota have
been built with a view to ultimate
division. Those in the south have
been duplicated in the north and
the north has never favored the con-
struction Of a public building in that
section without being willing to help
the south to a like advantage. The
result has been and will continue to
be unnecessary expenditures in
some instances and combinations
not creditable to either section to
carry out sectional or personal ends.
Dakota divided will make two grand
states. There are no brighter stars
in our constellation Of states than
these will be. Admitted as a whole
it will be subject to perpetual war
between factions. The people Of
the two sections do not have CON-
mon interests, nor do they haye a
common market for any of their
products. They purchase their
goods in different cities and rarely
ever meet socially or in their bust
ness relations. They meet only in
conventions and then to wrangle
over sectional questions. To keep
them united is an outrage. To
withhold statehood is little short Of
a crime for which the democratic
party is "a ponsible.

and broker, ~ newspaper men, By
doctors and druggists, in short Il
most every association in Dakota
divides into a North and South. rec
ognixing this natural law.
Sd. The interests Of the entire
northwest, which are agricultural In
their character, demand representa-
ton in the Senate Of the United
States. The capitalists and monop-
olies Of the east ere largely repres-
sented-one half Of the membership
Of the Senate being from states on
the Atlantic or the Gulf Of Mexico.
The farmers of the west, regardless
Of his politics, should favor such ac-
ton as will give his section and his
interest full, fair and adequate rep
resentation.
For these and for many other
reasons old settlers Of Union county
and pioneers of Dakota, turn out to
q han on election day and cast your
votes for DIVISION.

Sunday.



IL is often said that infidels wish to
destroy Sunday, but this Is not correct;
they would make IL far more useful and
profitable. This IL all the change they
propose, and it cannot truly be argued
that this is any opposition to the day It,
self. They would remove from Il the
superstition and the bisotry which have
so long been connected with It,; they
would use IL to promote goodness, for
humanity, for science, for letters, for
society. They would not abuse 1t by
impudent license on the one hand, nor
by slavish superstition on the other
We can easily escape the evils which
come OF the old abuse; can make the
Sunday ten times more valuable than 1t
is now; can employ it for all the highest
interests OF mankind, and fear no Tesc-
ton into libertinism:
The Sunday is made for man, as are
all other days, not man for sunday.
Let us use II, then, not cOnsum-
ing its hours in Jewish obser-
vance; not devote it to the
lower necessities Of life, but the higher;
rot squander Ii in idleness. slOth trivOli-
ty, or sleep; let us use it for the bOdy's
rest, and for the minds improvement.
The Sunday has come down to us from
our ancestors as day to be devoted 10
the highest interests OF man. 1t has
done good service, no doubt, for them
and for US. But 1t has come down ac-
companied with superstition, which
robs 1t Of half its value. 1t is easy for
the present generation to make the day
far more profitable 70 themselves than it
ever WAS to their fathers; easy to diyest II
of all bigOtry, to free it from all Oldness
of the letter; easy to leave il for poster
